Co-evolution-guided engineering of monensin biosynthetic monooxygenase MonCI reveals mechanistic basis for concurrent stability and catalytic enhancement.

Improving enzyme stability without compromising catalytic activity remains a major challenge in protein engineering. Here, we present a co-evolution-guided strategy to enhance both thermostability and catalytic performance of the flavin-dependent monooxygenase MonCI, an enzyme involved in monensin biosynthesis. By comb...
